My results from training with Richard have been astonishing. Within the first month people were commenting that I looked thinner...

Julia Ormond - talking about Richard Smedley in Men’s Fitness. I’ve worked with trainers all over the world and I’ve always come back. I know that he can do for me what I want to achieve. In him I have a friend who is emotionally and psychologically supportive......If eating chocolate cake after every meal makes you happy then do it, because that is surely what it is all about. By the same token if your weight makes you unhappy then do something about it.

Richard’s Training Ethos

To encourage, inspire, teach and support clients to achieve their health and fitness aims, in a progressive, entertaining, safe and effective manner

Encourage and inspire.
Unless a trainer can both encourage and inspire, he probably will not succeed with his clients. The ability to motivate, which is probably what these two words boil down to, is a big part of what personal training is essentially all about. Encouragement involves getting the balance right. Too much and it becomes just annoying background noise. Too little and your client might think you insensitive to how hard they are working and become irritated.
